“Since the perfection of blessedness consists in the knowledge of God, he has been pleased, in order that none might be excluded from the means of obtaining felicity, not only to deposit in our minds that seed of religion...but so manifest his perfections in the whole structure of the universe, and daily place himself in our view, that we cannot open our eyes without being compelled to behold him. His essence is, indeed, incomprehensible, utterly transcending all human thought; but on each of his works his glory is engraven in characters so bright, so distinct, and so illustrious, that none, however dull or illiterate, can plead ignorance as their excuse...the manifestation of the Godhead being too clear to escape the notice of any people, however obtuse.”
John Calvin, Institutes
of Christian Religion, I:V:1
